Uroll Paint Dispenser

Abstract

Disclosed are several variations of a device that is capable of dispensing small amounts of paint. The disclosed device may be used as a paint tester and a tool to perform small touch up and repair jobs on painted surfaces. The device will come preloaded with a small amount of paint and an applicator. The packaging is designed to promote mixture of the colorant and application of such colorant to the applicator. The adherence of colorant to the applicator is designed to occur as a one step process, as a user is removing an applicator from its packaging so as to apply a small measure of colorant to a surface. The packaging is also designed to maximize convenience by providing for a clean and drip resistant deployment of paint and virtually eliminating cleanup.
